GENERAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

Always wear personal protective equipment including safety glasses, gloves, and 32+NRR ear

plugs and ear muffs.

Always operate the SDI Select 60 with protective clothing to cover all exposed skin.

Always direct the blast stream in a safe direction. Never direct the blast stream at yourself or others.

Never use a wire tie to hold the applicator trigger in the ON position. Doing so violates safety

regulations, can damage the applicator and voids warranty coverage of the applicator.

Always turn source air OFF and bleed down the system before disconnecting the air supply hose.

Always turn source air OFF and remove the applicator control line before removing the blast hose.

Always follow all of the governing codes of your local/national body.

Always ensure the finger guard over the feeder exhaust port is installed. The finger guard on the

feeder protects from a potential personal injury site located inside the SDI Select 60.

Always ensure all chain guards and panels are installed before operating.

Only operate the SDI Select 60 at or below the recommended hose or blasting unit pressure levels.

Always ensure the blast hose is free of kinks.

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

Static discharge may ignite flammables.

Electrostatic discharge can be hazardous to the operator and the equipment. The static charge of

CO2 varies with the amount of dry ice and humidity present.

GROUND THE MATERIAL BEING CLEANED

Always ground the material being cleaned to assure safe operation while blasting.

1. Know your environment.

• Electrostatic buildup changes as humidity levels change and will vary by location.

Electrostatic discharge is higher at low humidity levels and occurs most often during

winter.

2. Attach static bond cable.

• To minimize electrostatic buildup between the part being cleaned and the

applicator, attach the static bond cable between the target surface and the blast hose

connection or to an electrically conductive supporting structure. Use a conductivity

tester for confirmation.

3. Plug into a grounded power outlet.

• This step is critical for electrostatic dissipation. If the ground is not connected, a

charge may build up on the unit or the applicator.

CO2 SAFETY

• The SDI Select 60 uses solid state carbon dioxide (CO2). CO2 is nontoxic, non-corrosive and

nonconductive. It is approved by the FDA and USDA.

• Solid CO2 is extremely cold (-109 °F/-78 °C). Always protect skin from direct contact with

CO2 pellets, nuggets or slices. Direct contact with skin or eyes quickly causes tissue damage.

• Vapor CO2 can displace the oxygen from any breathing environment rapidly. Only operate

the SDI Select 60 with a proper ventilation system that maintains the concentration levels of

the governing codes of your local/national body.

• Always review and observe all safety guidelines when using materials that displace oxygen.

• All operators and supervisors should familiarize themselves with the literature on the

physiological characteristics of CO2 before using the SDI Select 60. The information can be

obtained from the governing codes of your local/national body.

• Always use a CO2 monitoring device when using the SDI Select 60 in a confined space.

UNIT OPERATION

START UP

Read all safety instructions before operation and follow them closely (p. 1-2)

Always wear proper personal protective equipment including eye protection to guard against flying

objects, ear protection to prevent hearing loss and gloves to protect hands from exposure to

cryogenic temperatures and sharp blade surfaces.

If an air drop is seldom used or is being used with the SDI Select 60 for the first time, water and rust

may have collected in the line. Before connecting to the air supply, purge the line to prevent

contamination of the SDI Select 60.

Before loading dry ice, clean excess moisture from the trough area with compressed air nozzle.

Before starting the SDI Select 60, verify the following parameters:

• The air supply pipe is at least 1" (25 mm) in diameter.

• The air pressure does not exceed the blast hose and blast system pressure ratings.

• The incoming air temperature does not exceed 122 ºF (50 ºC).

• The power switch, bleed valve and applicator safety switch are in the OFF (O) position.

• The dry ice trough is dry, clean and free of debris (use compressed air nozzle if it is not).

To start the SDI Select 60:

1. Securely attach the blast hose and control cable to the SDI Select 60.

2. Securely attach the blast applicator to the blast hose and control cable.

3. Securely attach a nozzle to the blast applicator.

4. Securely attach the air supply hose to the SDI Select 60 and fully extend hose whip check.

5. Securely attach the static bonding cable to the target surface and to an electrically

conductive supporting structure or the blast hose.

6. Turn on the air compressor or open air supply valve and allow the air supply hose to

pressurize.

7. Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet.

• If an extension cord is necessary, it must comply with the power requirements of

the SDI Select 60 and all governing electrical codes. The SDI Select 60's data plate

indicates the operating voltage and amperage range.

8. Move the power switch to the ON (I) position.

9. Release disable blast button.

• The light will go off.

10. Move the bleed valve to the ON (I) position to purge water out of the lines.

11. Move the bleed valve to the OFF (O) position.

12. Move the feed rate control to maximum.

13. Move the air/ice control switch on the blast applicator to the II position.

14. Move the applicator safety switch to the ON (I) position.

15. Point the nozzle in a safe direction and squeeze the trigger to purge the system.

• The SDI Select 60 must be purged to ensure it is free of moisture to avoid forming a

clog between the feeder and shaver.

16. Set the dry ice feed rate and blast pressure to the desired setting.

17. Move the applicator safety switch to the OFF (O) position.

18. Verify the pusher plate is pushed back to the end of the trough away from shaver wheel.

19. Place dry ice into the trough. The SDI Select 60 is designed to use any type of dry ice,

including feeding full 3mm pellets (see p. 13).

If using ice blocks/slices, load through the dry ice

block loading door, placing dry ice against the

rotary knives.

For best performance, position smaller blocks/slices as shown in the following image when

stacking them in the trough.

If using pellets/nuggets, load through the dry ice pellet/nugget

loading lid. Fill to the top of the blade wheel.

Do not overfill the SDI Select 60 (fill only to the top

of pusher plate).

When using pellets/nuggets in extreme humidity, set pusher plate to the middle of the trough. In

order to achieve this, first ensure you have an empty trough. Next, pull the trigger to move the

pusher plate to the shaver disc, open the lid and manually slide the pusher plate to the middle of the

trough.

20. Close the dry ice loading block door or the dry ice pellet/nugget loading lid.

21. Move the applicator safety switch to the ON (I) position.

22. Squeeze the blast applicator trigger to blast.

ADJUST THE AGITATION CONTROL

The SDI Select 60's design helps keep dry ice from forming a clog in the trough and between the

feeder and the shaver by isolating the trough, adding thumper agitation and using bursts of air in

the feeder chamber to break up any dry ice clumps that may begin to form during operation.

The bursts of air are controlled by the agitation control switch located on the Control Panel. The

switch can be set to automatic, manual or off.

The agitation control switch's center position is OFF (O). Cold Jet recommends using this setting

unless clogging is a frequent problem.

The agitation control switch's left position is AUTOMATIC. In the automatic setting, thumper

agitation will actuate and there will be a short blast of air in the feeder chamber every time the

blast applicator trigger is pulled and every 5-7 seconds afterwards. This setting is useful in high

humidity environments where the dry ice particles want to cling together.

The agitation control switch's right position is MANUAL (I). The SDI Select 60 will blast air into the

feeder chamber and the thumper agitation will actuate as long as the switch is held in this position.

The manual setting can be used as necessary to ensure the trough and feeder chamber remain free

and clear of any buildup that may form during use. Cold Jet recommends using the manual setting

occasionally during normal use.

ADJUST THE BLAST PRESSURE

The blast pressure regulation is an optional feature that allows you to adjust the blast pressure of

the SDI Select 60. By turning the blast pressure control knob, an operator can go from maximum

available operating pressure to a controlled blast pressure.

To adjust the blast pressure:

1. Turn the regulator bypass switch clockwise to activate blast pressure regulation.

2. To increase air pressure, rotate the blast pressure control knob clockwise until the desired

pressure is displayed on the regulated air pressure gauge. To decrease air pressure, rotate

the blast pressure control knob counter-clockwise until the desired pressure is displayed on

the regulated air pressure gauge.

• If the blast pressure control knob will not rotate, unlock the knob by pulling it

outward.

3. With the blast applicator on, pull the blast applicator trigger for a brief moment to verify

blast pressure setting.

Using Portable Air (85 - 500 hp / 64 - 373 kw) . . . . . . 22

PLANT AIR (CENTRAL COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEM)

Manufacturing plants with central compressed air systems should have an after cooler and a 2-

stage coalescing filter assembly downstream of the receiver tank. Hot metal pipes are an indication

this is needed.

To verify that the plant air system is adequate for the SDI Select 60, the air compressor needs to

produce an air volume 10% greater than the SDI Select 60 maximum air volume in addition to the

air volume consumed by normal plant operation.

To determine adequate air volume, watch the pressure gauge while blasting.

If the gauge drops slowly, the compressor is insufficient.

If the gauge drops quickly, there is a restriction or the pipe is too small.

If the gauge stays steady, then the compressor and piping are adequate.

To maintain adequate pressure to the SDI Select 60:

For distances less than 50 ft (15 m) between the air compressor and the SDI Select 60, Cold

Jet recommends a flexible 1 in (25 mm) air hose, preferably the hose supplied with the SDI

Select 60.

For distances greater than 50 ft (15 m) between the air compressor and the SDI Select 60,

Cold Jet recommends a larger hose/pipe to maintain adequate blast pressure

If an air drop is seldom used or is being used with the SDI Select 60 for the first time, water and rust

may have collected in the line. Before connecting to the air supply, purge the line to prevent

contamination of the SDI Select 60.

22

USING PORTABLE AIR (85 - 500 HP / 64 - 373 KW)

Portable air compressors are mainly used for shop tools, not dry ice blasting units; therefore, they

are not able to cool or remove air moisture.

An after cooler and moisture trap/filter MUST be used. An after cooler with a 15 °F (-9 °C) approach

is required to reduce the discharge air temperature 180 °F (82 °C) to within 15 °F (-9 °C) of ambient

air temperature.

If an air cooler is not used:

Incoming air moisture will rapidly cool and freeze at the SDI Select 60 feeder.

Ice will accumulate in the feeder, distorting the air flow and seal.

Ice will break off inside the hose and lodge in the nozzle, causing a jam.

Ice may exit the nozzle and damage the target surface.

If blasting continuously, use an air dryer to further reduce the air moisture (dew point). Desiccant

dryers produce a dew point of -40 °F (-40 °C), resulting in a dew point low enough for continuous

blasting.

To verify the compressor is of adequate size for the SDI Select 60, the air compressor needs to

produce an air volume 10% greater than the SDI Select 60's maximum permissible air volume. To

determine adequate air volume, watch the pressure gauge while blasting.

If the gauge drops slowly, the compressor is insufficient.

If the gauge drops quickly, there is a restriction or the pipe is too small.

If the gauge stays steady, then the compressor and piping are adequate.

To maintain adequate pressure, the hose size from the compressor to the SDI Select 60 needs to be

1" (25 mm) in diameter

maintenance and service as stipulated in the Operator’s Manual, Commissioning, and Operator Training. At the

discretion of CJ, failure to complete Installation, Commissioning, and Operator Training shall result in forfeit of

determined to be defective. Said repair or replacement will be made by CJ or its authorized representative free of

charge to the Buyer during the warranty period. Any replaced part will become the property of CJ. If, after

repeated efforts, CJ is unable to restore its Equipment to good working order, or to replace the defective parts all

as warranted, CJ may replace the Equipment in its entirety at its discretion. Any claim must be made in writing to

CJ within 30 days after the defect is discovered and any claim not made within that period shall be deemed

waived or released and denied.

Warranty service provided under this Agreement does not assume uninterrupted operation of the Equipment.

The suitability of the equipment for the purpose intended is not included in the warranty.

This warranty shall not apply and CJ shall be neither responsible nor liable for:

a) Consequential, collateral or special losses or damages;

b) Equipment conditions caused by abnormal conditions of use, accident, neglect or misuse of Equipment,

improper storage or damages resulting during shipment as determined by CJ;

In no event shall CJ be liable for claims, whether arising from breach of contract or warranty claims of negligence

or negligent manufacture, in excess of the purchase price.

IMPLIED BY FACT, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR USE,
